You need (or at least I needed) to manually set the server to use (I think it is in the xserverrc file, or something like that), it took me quite a while before I had figured out why X would not start in a high-res mode :)

Then, login as root ( still in consile mode, you can not run X without configuring it first) and type xf86config THis will run a config program that will let you configure video card/monitor/keyboard/mouse for X.
